Young Women Empowered offers programs for teens ages 13-19 in the Greater Seattle area. All of our programs are free to attend and center young women, trans, non-binary, and gender expansive youth. We offer a wide range of topics to explore, but the core themes across all our programs are belonging, wellness, and thriving. Learn more about Y-WE’s mission and values here.
